Producer's words after the death of his former spouse

Producer and founder of the group Na-Na, Bary Alibasov, publicly responded for the first time to the death of his former spouse, People's Artist of the RSFSR, Lidiya Fedoseyeva-Shukshina. In a video message published by the Telegram channel 'Zvezdach', he said: 'Lidiya Nikolaevna Fedoseyeva-Shukshina has passed away. A bright, warm, and talented actress of Russian cinema. For me, Lida remained a close and dear person who gave me both love and care.' According to Life.ru's description, in the recording, the producer appeared in black clothing and spoke slowly, with noticeable pauses.

Marriage, divorce, and relationships after the separation

Alibasov and Fedoseyeva-Shukshina got married in November 2018; for the actress, this marriage was her fifth. The union was accompanied by loud scandals, including a property dispute over a Moscow apartment, and in September 2021, the couple officially divorced. Despite their difficult separation, they continued to communicate: the producer's son previously stated that his father considered Fedoseyeva-Shukshina one of the few truly close people to him. On the eve of the video's publication, Alibasov Jr. admitted to journalists that he did not want to inform his father about the death of his ex-wife, fearing a severe reaction; however, the producer learned about the incident himself and addressed the public.
